The Outcast Claudia Raym Pony Tail (Hue= 04 55) Version 2.3
Story/Fiction:
Claudia was born to a whore named 'Doll' who worked at the Ironwood in seducing travelers who had been on the road quite a long time. Doll bore Claudia and basicly neglected her to no end and At the Age of 4 she was shiped off to her Aunte Carol in Cove, a hard and strict farmers wife with her head burried deep in the religious beliefs of the day. Claudia as all the other children on a farm was required to work as soon as she could and began to herd the sheep and chickens. Carol awoke one day to voices in the loft of their small house, it was Claudia talking to a rat who was eating a block of cheese. Carol became Irate and beat the sences out of Claudia, she then demanded why the rat had been given the block of cheese and Claudia between tears said "He told me he was hungry..."
Rumors began to circulate through town as happens, and soon Claudia was looked upon as a witch child and evil to her core. The Last straw came for both the town and Aunte Carol at the age of 5. One of the other farmers sons was cutting down an oak tree just outside of town when Claudia saw him choping away. She screamed at the top of her lungs "YOU'LL KILL IT STOP!!!" and whipped the boy with a rose bush branch scaring most of his upper body and face. Claudia was left to the wolves in the woods as she screamed and cried outside the gates of Cove.
Claudia survived by teaching snakes to hunt rabbits and birds for her, she stole from fields of farmers and what she could find in the woods. Eventully she befriended an eagle she named 'Joy' who showed her how to hide from bandits in the trees and the ways of the forest. One day Claudia and Joy could find no food at all for miles around and began to slowly starve. The found a single rabbit who ran from them into a large cave in the side of a mountain and Joy went in after it but never came out. Claudia waited and waited and eventully fell asleep shivering and cold under the branches of a large oak tree.
Claudia awoke finding herself in complete darkness instinctivly suckeling milk next to 3 other warm bodies and awarm and careing voice told her, "Go back to sleep young one" Claudia's Eyes began to ajust to the darkness and she found herself in the lair of a great female dragon with three baby dragons around Claudia's age. Strangely she was not afraid, it was warm and the Dragon had fed her. "I am Raym and these are my cubs, Kaniel, Christedis, and the small one is Ornos. What is your name child?" The three looked at her with half amused looks and Claudia answered with her name. "You will be safe here if you wish to stay, you come from a hard world and you may return to it if you wish, or you can stay here warm and fed with my three cubs." Being only 6 she stayed where there was food and warmth. She learned many things from Raym in the form of stories told near bedtime each night, how man had hunted them to near extinction and how many of their kind were depf and dumb from years of torcher but that there were a few who still clung to the traditions and intelligence originaly held.
The runt Ornos was very sickly and could barely walk much less fly like his brother and sister, eventully he died his body just giving up unwilling to fight off the various infections. Raym cried for days over the loss of her son and flew off with the corpse of Ornos in her claws, when she returned she carried the hide of Ornos and covered Claudia with it saying, "I have lost my son, but Gaia has given you to me and you are now my daughter Claudia." Years later Kaniel and Christedis had become quite large and strong and left to find themselves their own lairs. Raym stood proudly watching her son and daughter fly away into the horizon one to the north the other to the south... "What of me mother?" Rayme looked down at the young 12 year old Claudia and said, "You are too young child, no worries, in time you shall leave me and forget me, just as Kaniel and Christedis will." Claudia knew when to stay silent through many arguments and conversations the four had had in the small cave and let the topic go.
Claudia's Abilities with animals and magic had grown almost daily sence Raym had found her and Claudia began to ride further and further away from the lair on horses she had tamed one day she came across three shining balls of light dancing in a small clearing in the forest when she returned to the lair night had long sence falen and Claudia knew something was wrong as she entered, Raym had grown quite ill and sick in a short amount of time, saying she had been attacked by a group of men while out looking for Claudia. Claudia was devistated and curled up under Raym's arms.
For the next few years Claudia herded hordes of sheep and cows into the lair to feed the failing Raym. Raym could hardly move but could speak with no difficulty and kept teaching Claudia magic and tales of Humans, she said that one day Claudia must return to her kind, but to never let what she was disrupt who she was. Claudia absorbed the information like a sponge and asked many questions.
Currently Claudia has taken 'Raym' as her last name and is in her early 20s, still careing for the failing Raym...
